  Hello all. I recently reinstalled my Windows 10 OS and thought I had backed up all of the folders and files to DVD-RW disks. It turns out I had not backed up any of my Second Life *3D* material. This 3D blog is only one of three I have created & worked.

  I had successfully exported all of the material of this one to a zip file *which received through my attached Gmail account*. However, when I extract the .zip file to the folder all it shows is a .XML document. It doesn’t show any posts data nor pictures. I am familiar enough with .zip files & how they work. What I don’t understand is why the data and such that is supposed to show, isn’t. I am really confused and upset. What am I missing? Any advice and suggestions welcomed.

  I have even tried to export specific content to .zip and the same thing shows up.

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  An XML-file is a standard file type to copy or move content between wordpress sites, https://wordpress.com/support/moving-a-blog/ and https://wordpress.com/support/export/

  I am not wanting export data between WordPress sites, rather to my own PC.

  You have to install wordpress.org locally, https://wordpress.org/support/article/installing-wordpress-on-your-own-computer/
